Positive Support, Practical Strategies
Respectful, person-centred support grounded in neurodevelopmental and trauma-informed practice.
Who is behaviour support for?
SAL Consulting’s behaviour support services are designed for children, young people, and adults experiencing behaviours of concern that may impact safety, wellbeing, or participation in daily life. These services are particularly suited to individuals with:
Disability or developmental delay
Autism or neurodivergent profiles
Trauma and attachment disruptions
Mental health concerns or dual diagnosis
Complex support needs across disability, education, justice, or care settings
Families, carers, and support providers benefit from structured guidance that supports consistency, clarity, and meaningful progress.
How does it work?
SAL Consulting applies the principles of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) within a person-centred, trauma-informed framework. Our process includes:
Behaviour Assessment
A comprehensive assessment that explores:
The individual’s history, current supports, and lived experience
Behavioural patterns and possible functions of behaviour
Environmental and relational factors
Risk, safety, and engagement indicators
Findings are presented in a detailed report with clear behavioural formulation and support recommendations.
Lifestyle Behaviour Intervention Support Plan
Following assessment, SAL Consulting develops an individualised plan that is:
Strengths-based and focused on increasing quality of life
Built in collaboration with the individual and their support network
Informed by best practice and practical insights
Plans typically include:
Client information summary and behavioural formulation
Research underpinnings to support understanding
Reactive strategies (e.g. Incident Response Plans)
Positive programming directions and ecological supports to build skills, reduce risk, and increase meaningful engagement
Our team can also provide implementation support, staff coaching, and ongoing review to ensure strategies are embedded and effective.
